Don't Sit in the front row

Don’t Sit in the Front Row saw Jack Dee joined by three top Stand Ups to probe the lives of audience members for material. Wholly improvisational, this comedy entertainment show gave comics the chance to get their own back on the hecklers.

Citrus produced two series of Don’t Sit in the Front Row – one for Sky Atlantic and one for Sky One.
